Public transport

Hop off at stop number 33 (Car Epsom Rd & Union Rd) Head toward traffic lights, turn left into Lang’s Road; walk along the left hand side. Allow 10-15 minutes to walk to Leonard.

TRAIN

There is a train the runs to Flemington (Showgrounds Station) however the 1st train may not arrive in time. Please carefully check the timetable this week.

There are different timetables for each of the race days.

When you get to the station you will need to call 9650 1311 if you have not been collected by the Hotelstaff representative.

Car parking

We really do recommend you do not drive as it will be super busy everywhere.

Do not drive to Flemington. Parking restrictions apply & parking is VERY limited. The BEST way to get to Flemington via Public Transport is to take the TRAM.

PARKING

Parking for staff working during the four days of the carnival will be available at Moonee Valley Racecourse (centre car park). A fee of $5 per vehicle each day will apply upon entry.

Car park opening times are as follow:

Derby Day 5am – 10.30pm

Cup Day 5am – 10.30pm

A free shuttle bus service will operate between Moonee Valley Racecourse and Flemington at frequent intervals and will continue into the evening to transport staff back to their vehicles. Staff can board the shuttle bus at the designated collection/drop off point located near the carpark area at Moonee Valley Racecourse and will disembark at the drop off/collection point near the Hill Gate, Leonard Crescent.
